Emergency response services: Our commitment to you

Being able to call on local support gives you the peace of mind that you need in the event of an incident. You are assured of rapid access to information direct from the scene, with the advantage of ongoing localized assistance in managing the incident.

Increasing requirements imposed by new legislation, such as REACH CLP, NICNAS, MARPOL and RINNS place a burden on commercial bodies which may not have the necessary in-house technical staff. SGS offers a reliable partnership that will satisfy the most stringent levels of due diligence and ensure compliance with all relevant legislation.

Our emergency response service gives you one global SGS emergency telephone number that uses unique features to immediately connect you to local SGS responders. This number can be incorporated into transport documents such as DGD, CMR and airway bills, SDS and product labels for ease of reference.
